Woops!

The coming collapse in immigration to the United Kingdom - UK in a changing Europe James Bowes analyses the fall in net migration to the UK as a result of government policies and explores some of the political and economic consequences.

Net migration now estimated to have fallen from 944,000 to 345,000 in Dec ‘24.

Some projections even suggest David Cameron’s old target of “tens of thousands” could be met. ukandeu.ac.uk/the-coming-c...

“This was not protest,” MPs said. “Those participating in disorder were not policed more strongly because of their supposed political views but because they were throwing missiles, assaulting police officers and committing arson. “It was disgraceful to see the police officers who bore the brunt of this violence being undermined by baseless claims of ‘two-tier policing’.”

Very strong verdict by the (cross-party and Conservative-chaired) Commons home affairs committee about whether or not there was 'two-tier policing' in the summer riots. There very much was not, they say.

Big day for graph makers.

Totally understand - just keep going

Brilliant effort by the @wokingfc.bsky.social Academy to win last night against Bromley in the FA Youth Cup. The second round now beckons with an opportunity to progress to the 3rd against Stoke City. Amazing effort

Where is he involved?

Not for the short conference no Mark but I am there all day today. What’s his name ?

Choose #NonLeague

I know it was embarrassing and brainless to boo any National Anthem. Sorry

I know I thought that but too late now

Why wait - have just deleted Twitter - decluttering and detoxifying

A return to GU22. 🏡

Loving BlueSky but missing some of the sport content. If you are interested in proper football give the mighty WokingFC/ Cardinals follow @wokingfc.bsky.social. We also have American owners ( not @vancityreynolds.bsky.social ) chasing the English Football Dream and addicted to the community journey

Agreed but just to say that trolls are not restricted to the right wing. I just want to lose the anger, vitriol and insults - hoping and looking forward to respectful dialogue on any issue

Really enjoying Blue Sky as it seems much more chilled and respectful. I enjoy breaking out of the bubble but X became impossible to engage, partly because of the paid provocateurs. Its not yet replacing the sport content of X with updates, scores, banter being posted - hoping it will come

Conspiracy theorists on the margin are one thing. When they are running the most powerful nation on earth we are definitely descending the rabbit hole.
